Inderlok metro station

Summary

Inderlok (formerly known as Trinagar)[2] is an interchange metro station of the Red Line and Green Line of Delhi Metro. The station is the terminal for the Green Line to Brigadier Hoshiyar Singh, which is located in Bahadurgarh district of Haryana.[3][4] One interesting thing about the Inderlok station is that the Green Line meets the Red Line perpendicularly here, unlike all the other interchange stations. This design choice ended the possibility of extending the line in the future (in this direction).[5][6][7]
